New Years Eve Sky

Dec 31, 2008 Posted Under: Events, photography

This New Years Eve had an unusual night sky just after sunset.  The Western sky had the moon and Venus right next to each other just after sunset.  Thanks to the warmer than usual evening I was able to spend some time outside.  This photo does not show the sky as nice as it was.  [...]

This morning I had planned on sleeping late since it is New Years Eve.  Since I took the day off it is the beginning of a five day weekend.  I went to bed around 12:30 AM last night with the intentions of just waking up on my own but I was violently shaken awake by [...]

Artists Block Embedding on Youtube?

Dec 30, 2008 Posted Under: opinion, video

After listening to Air1 I heard MercyMe’s song “God with Us” and I was admiring the video on Youtube. I wanted to add it to my web site using the embed code that accompanies these videos.  I was disappointed to find that many videos by MercyMe had this feature disabled.  There was a comment in [...]

I'm Still a PC

Am I the only one that has noticed all the Apple hysteria these days?  If you turn on the television, watch any sitcom, or movie you will see everyone with a Mac.  If you go onto social networking sites or blogs around the world you will find similar sentiments.  This has become another follower story [...]

Another Three Day Work Week

Dec 28, 2008 Posted Under: Personal, Work

As the weekend and year comes to a close I find myself sick with a cold for only the second time in 2008.  It is ironic that after the sickly year of 2007 where I was off work sick all the time I have only missed two days of work for being sick this entire [...]

Good Morning

Dec 28, 2008 Posted Under: Personal

This morning I did something unprecedented.  I woke up because I had to go to the bathroom like always but this time I made myself go back to bed.  I actually stayed in bed until 8:30 AM.  I have a bad habit of staying up late, and then getting up early to go to the [...]

More AP Activism

Dec 27, 2008 Posted Under: bias, Bible, God, opinion

I know I have posted many times about why I do not like the  Associated Press (AP).  They have clearly taken sides in the Israeli, Arab battle long ago.  This willful misrepresentation of Israel’s self defense is common place.  If you read this story located here you will have to go more than half way [...]

Christmas at the Brite's

Dec 27, 2008 Posted Under: Christmas, Events, family, Personal

This morning we rose early to go to Checotah, Oklahoma to visit my father in law.  We had a pretty good time there except that I was a little under the weather.  Early this morning our warm weather came to an end as a cold front came crashing through.  At 4:00 AM a line of [...]

I just arrived home from visiting my dad’s house and we had a pretty good time.  We laughed so hard that I worried for him bursting a blood vessel .  In the above photo, my dad and Retha managed to pull it together enough to answer the cell phone.  My dad was talking to his [...]

Windy "BUT" Warm

Dec 26, 2008 Posted Under: Personal, weather

I have live many places and no matter where I go they say the famous statement “If you don’t like the weather here, just wait five minutes and it will change”.  Everywhere I go, people have this opinion that their weather is always drastically changing.  I have found this statement to be relative to whatever [...]
